Summary

Description
English: May Otis Blackburn, co-founder of the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven religious cult, along with her daughter Ruth Wieland Rizzio. The two women believed they were high priestesses who were charged by Angel Gabriel to write two books that would "reveal all the mysteries of life and death and heaven and earth." The cult was investigated for the death of a child Willa Rhoads and the disappearance of some of the cult's members. All of these investigations were started by a complaint made by Clifford R. Dabney, who charged that he gave Blackburn $40,000 to finish writing the books but the books never materialized.
